Plaything

I’m trying to squeeze in a few minutes of creative time every day, and although it might seem like I’m all over the place, working one a dozen different projects at the same time, there’s a plan to it. Really. I break things up to fit into short periods of time, making little kits with whatever I need for each one, and grab the project that I want to work with that day. Anything that gives me my daily creative fix is good; it keeps me happy and my mind balanced.

This pad was my birthday present from husband this spring.

Doesn’t it look just gorgeous! A+ for design! What it doesn’t come with is a protective cover, not even a boring one, so I’m thinking of transforming this bunch of solid strips

Always a good idea to have lots of projects going at the same time. Then we can work on whatever strikes our fancy at any given time. I look forward to seeing the fun cover you make from these fabrics.

so who am I?

My name is Nina Lise and I live in Norway where I share my life with my (incredible patient) husband, our daughter, two grandboys 7 and 2 (centre of the universe and masters of our house once a week and every other weekend), and an ever growing stash of fabric (lovingly referred to as “crap” by husband).
I have been quilting for 15 years, and it is consuming my time, my budget and large parts of both my brain and our house (hence the patient husband). I am pretty much a design-as-you-make-it-up quilter and enjoy the process even more than the finished project. I love playing with scraps of fabric and turning them into small, funny quilts. My first book was published in March 2012 and I also design patterns and teach classes.
